To configure an SMTP server:

1. In the RAS Console, select the Administration category and then click the Mailbox Setup tab.
2. In the Mailbox Server field, type your mail server FDQN or IP address.
3. In the Sender Address field, type the sender address.
4. Select the Use TLS / SSL and SMTP server requires authentication options if needed (type the SMTP server username and password in the fields provided).
5. The Test Email section can be used to test your SMTP server configuration. You can type more than email address, separated by a semicolon. Click Send Test Email to test the settings.
